"Before you ask: she does NOT watch The Walking Dead," Leor wrote in an email to Mashable.

Complete with a red turtleneck, a leather jacket and a baseball bat, Lily totally nails her Negan costume – with the exception of her beaming smile and the fact that she probably has not killed dozens of humans and zombies.

"I'm home on paternity leave (my wife had our second last week!) and it's Halloween, so we've been playing around with costumes all week," Leor told Mashable.

The response to Lily's costume has been pretty varied, Leor said.

I've received three very different reactions to this:

1. Aww I have no idea what she's dressed as, but she's cute!

2. I hate Negan, but this is great. Its like eye-bleach after watching that terrible episode.

3. What the actual fuck? You're sick!

Even though Leor has stressed that Lily has not watched The Walking Dead, the internet of course continued to express their worries.

"I've received a bunch of messages from people that are concerned that I'm letting her watch this show (she doesn't watch any TV), or that I'm stealing her Halloween by dressing her in a costume that I pick and she doesn't understand," he told Mashable.

"To address that last part, I have to stress that she's only 19 months old and doesn't even understand what a costume is. For what it's worth she also dressed as a tiger and as Batgirl and a princess this weekend!"

Here's hoping Lily's Halloween is less spooky than an average episode of The Walking Dead.
